| ArtofAngels said: I need a new fresh RPG experience and what a better place to get that than the SNES, I hear so much about this game and chose to start a file on it (Have to download it though) I can't really call myself a true RPG nut if I don't at least give this game a shot just like if you have never played Terranigma. Just a few questions: 1: Are there side-quest boss's? (A must for me) 2: Is it long? (I want at least 30 hours of good solid gameplay) 3: Can I name my characters? 4: Is it challenging? 5: Is it random battle encounters? (If so is it annoying as hell like FF V or nicely appart like FF X) 6: Are there Summons or equally cool looking spells? 7: Has it got an excellent and easy to follow story like Terranigma or is it clanky and complicated like FF Tactic's PSP? 8: Overworld map or stringed together locations? Thankyou, that's all I want to know for now. |
1) The entire end of the game is side quests, about 1/3 of the game play time.
2) 15-25 hours, but then you get to do New Game +, and try to get all the endings (there are more than 10, depending on where you are in the story when you defeat the final boss, which you can do at any point on a New Game +).
3) Yes.
4) Not compared to older FF games. Probably about the same challenge level as FF7 or FF8.
5) Occasionally there are random encounters. You can see most of the enemies before you encounter them, and they don't come back once they're defeated.
6) There are no summons, but there are spiffy multiple-tech combos that involve more than one character casting a spell simultaneously. It's spiffy.
7) The story is fantastic, easy to follow, and not at all awkward like more recent FF games. Top notch, one of Square's best.
8) Overworld map with no enemy encounters.
